Hey everyone,

As I sit down to write this note, I’m struck by how far we’ve come together on this journey. Writing Novel One and Novel Two has been nothing short of extraordinary—not just for me as a writer but as someone who has poured so much of my heart into Nyx’s world. These stories have taken on a life of their own, and it’s been incredible to see how much you’ve connected with them too.

Let’s take a moment to reflect.

Novel One was where it all began. It introduced us to Nyx, her curious spirit, and the mystical, often dangerous, Dark Forest of Tivera. We watched her build bonds with the Constellations, uncover secrets, and grow in ways she never expected. It was a story of discovery and belonging, a foundation for everything that followed. Honestly, it was where I discovered so much of what I love about this world, and it’ll always hold a special place in my heart.

Then came Novel Two, where things really leveled up. I stayed true to my original vision, even when I was tempted to veer off course. This book pushed boundaries—both for Nyx and for me. It dove deeper into relationships, the lore of the Constellations, and the challenges that come with growth. Writing it wasn’t always easy, but every time I wanted to stop and second-guess myself, I thought about how much Nyx’s journey means to you, and that pushed me forward. By the end, I felt like we’d all grown alongside her.

And now, here we are. Novel Three is on the horizon, and I couldn’t be more excited. This is the chapter where we leave the safety of the forest and step into the wider world. There are so many mysteries to uncover, so many places we haven’t seen yet, and people we haven’t met. I promise you this: it’s going to be a wild ride. Expect new challenges, unexpected twists, and moments that will change everything. Nyx’s story is about to take a turn that even I didn’t fully see coming when I first started this series.

That said, I want to be upfront about a couple of things. First, Novel Three will likely be a bit shorter than the first two books. The story demands it. This next phase of Nyx’s journey is more focused, a bridge between where she’s been and where she’s headed. While it won’t be as long, I believe it will pack just as much heart, action, and magic as the previous books.

Second, I want to talk about the schedule. I’ll be releasing one to two chapters per day, depending on how the pacing feels. This way, we can keep the momentum going while giving everyone—including me!—a chance to fully immerse in each chapter. I’ve found that this rhythm works best for keeping the story alive without overwhelming anyone.

Now, to everyone who’s been here since the beginning, I cannot thank you enough. Your support, feedback, and enthusiasm are what make all of this possible. Seeing your reactions to the twists and turns of the story is honestly one of the best parts of this entire process. And to those who’ve just joined, welcome! There’s so much to discover, and I’m thrilled you’re here to experience it all.

As I step into writing Novel Three, I feel a mix of excitement and responsibility. I want to make this next installment everything it deserves to be—an adventure that pushes Nyx to new heights while staying true to who she is. There are moments ahead that I know will surprise you, move you, and maybe even make you gasp (or cry!). Together, let’s see where her courage, determination, and unwavering heart will take her next.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being part of this journey. Whether you’ve been here since Novel One or are just now discovering Nyx’s world, I’m so grateful to have you along for the ride. Here’s to what’s next—and to making Novel Three unforgettable.

With all my gratitude, Author-Chan.
